Quiet Times....

It was early evening up on the hilltop at the Estate. The sun was going down behind the trees and was casting long shadows. The boys were patiently awaiting the arrival of the lightning bugs. Catching them is a right of passage, and a nightly ritual while we are up there.

Senior had strung up his hammock and was relaxing in it.  Birds flew about, and the squirrel population played in the trees. Occasionally on this particular evening, a car passing on the highway would break the peace. But other then that..all was quiet.
